Catholic Schools Week January 29 – February 4
The kick-off mass at
St. Paul’s is Saturday, January 28th at 4:30 pm followed by a Simple
Supper in the cafeteria. Everyone is invited to attend. We want a great ASA presence at this Saturday
mass so consider joining us Saturday evening. Enjoy a simple dinner with other
ASA families & supporters afterwards.
Tourist/Vacation Day is
Monday – have your student wear “vacation” attire! Please remember that all clothing must meet
dress code requirements. (Students will
be going outside for recess if the temperature cooperates so winter weather
appropriate clothing needs to be worn at recess.) Please refer to the packet that was sent home
2 weeks ago regarding the schedule. If
you haven’t turned in your bowling slip, please do ASAP!
The packet is also
available on School Speak under Catholic Schools Week.

will be held next Friday, Feb. 3rd immediately after mass in the

registration form.

Start your evening off by joining St. Paul’s for mass and sleep in on Sunday!
It’s only a short 50 foot walk from church to Extravaganza!
The fun begins at 5:30 pm with live
music beginning at 8:45 pm. But we need
YOU And
your guests! Ticket price for the event is $50/person and it counts towards
your family fundraising dollars.
Never attended before? New
parent? Like last year, ASA parents
attending for the first time will be offered ½ price tickets as a little
incentive to “check out Extravaganza.”

Riddler's Escape
Rooms will be at the Extravaganza.
They are a live-action, immersive game. Groups enter a
theme-filled room to solve the secrets and secure the power crystal before time
runs out. A mini-version of the escape room will be at the event for
adventurers to try. Teams consist of 4-6 people and is $10 per person to
participate. Donations will be
accepted and benefit All Saints Academy Schools. For questions,
